My kids received this gift last Christmas and they love this game. They are 2 and 5 and both enjoy it equally as much. The music is catchy and fun. The 4 different gaming areas are all cute and challenging. Your child will practice fine motor skills, counting, and shape matching all while having a blast. I highly recommend this game!

We bought this for Christmas for our 7 and 3 1/2 year olds. Now the one thing you must know is that we also purchased a Wii, so we knew that anything we got was going to be up against some stiff competition. Believe it or not, Cranium Balloon Lagoon has been the game that they've wanted to play the most aside from the Wii!

It's an excellent game - not only for the educational activitis, but because it's so different than any other board game I've seen. You don't move your character around a board, you just hang onto it. You spin the spinner in the middle and have to do whatever task you land on. From fishing for letters to trying to match pictures, this game is entertaining for the whole family!

This is a great game all around! There are 4 different activities in the carnival, and a timer so you don't get too caught up trying to master one. There are wonderful educational aspects to it, but it's so much fun, your kids won't even realize they are learning.

First is the frog jumping, a bit like ants in the pants. This one takes a little motor skills, but how much fun to have frogs jumping all over the table!

Next is the fishing game, you use a magnetic fishing pole to fish out letters and try to spell the word on the flip book. My 5 yr old loves this one, it is fun and it helps build spelling and word recognition.

Then there is the matching dice game (my favorite) You pour the dice into the shack and try to make matches of different carnival foods. Great for children and fast paced enough to make them learn to look quickly and choose.

Last is the spinner game where you have to keep spinning the four sections to make different under the sea characters. This one is great for matching pictures (a bit like a puzzle) and fun because of the silly creations you may end up making. Such as a scuba diver with octopus legs.

Great fun for the whole family!
